The Prolific North Top 50 PR Agencies 2021

The top four spots remain stable between 2020 and 2021 after a trading of places between BDB and Weber Shandwick last year. Citypress’s reign at the top continues – marking seven years in pole position.

Ramarketing, the Newcastle agency which slipped a couple of places in 2020, has made a fantastic jump into the top 10 to take fifth spot. Well done too to Social, which continues its steady climb to reach sixth in 2021.

Iseepr and Red Havas have also done particularly well over the past year, making it into the top 10 at seventh and tenth respectively.

Of the 10 leading agencies, once again seven are based in Greater Manchester, with Leeds being the next-best represented location. Across the whole ranking this year, 30 are located in the North West while 18 are Yorkshire-based.

This year’s biggest climber is Altrincham-based Alpharmaxim Healthcare Communications, which having been at 41st in 2020, jumps 29 places to 12th. Others making big steps include Faith PR jumping into the Top 50, Bonner & Hindley who are up 13 spots, plus HRM, Fig Creative and No Brainer, climbing more than 10 places apiece.

Finally, well done to new entry The Big Bamboo Agency from Harrogate, which after healthy growth, has entered the ranking for the first time at number 36.
